'I enjoy friendly rivalry' - Willis

The City defender is enjoying his run in the side and is looking forward to the Colchester United game...

Coventry City defender Jordan Willis has revealed he is ‘happy’ to be playing in his new right-back position, even if it means direct competition from fellow Sky Blue Cyrus Christie.

The two players have progressed from the City Academy to the first team together, and Willis says there is a friendly rivalry between the two players. “There is a bit of a rivalry,” he said, “just like there is between all of the players.

“We’re good mates off the pitch though so it’s all friendly. It’s good to have competition wherever you’re playing.

Willis has made 18 appearances for Coventry this season, and has shown his versatility by switching roles across the defence.

The 19-year old says he is happy to change when needed, and play a style that suits his game.
